DOE partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL—a DOE laboratory), BP Solar, The Home Depot, EDS (Electronic Data Systems), and the American Institute of Architects to sponsor the event. The dedication and hard work of the 14 pioneering teams from colleges and universities across the United States made the event a success. The authors appreciate the support and guidance of Richard King, the Solar Decathlon Competition Director and Photovoltaics Team Leader in the Solar Program, who also provided critical review for this document. The authors also thank Greg Barker (Mountain Energy Partnership), George Douglas (NREL), Dan Eberle (Formula Sun), Robi Robichaud (NREL), and Norm Weaver (InterWeaver) for their contributions and reviews.
